Meat Teas

As a medicinal restorative or a steadier, meat tea is always a welcoming bolster for a cold or out in the cold. When you feel wobbly like a new foal or more seriously hung over, collapsed like an ancient mule in the market and being whipped by your brutish owner, then no preparation could be less taxing than simply heating up some good stock and dressing it appropriately. With the addition of a small nip from the hip-flask, I have also found it to limber up the swing when I’m shooting like a clot, or to clear the head when snivelling under the oppression of a piggish cold. Here are two versions: one for early autumn and one for mid-winter.
